Ugly style drawings

I’ve been experimenting with a style of drawing that I’ve secretly been doing since art school. I never really showed them publicly because I was trained for perfection in art. But lately I’ve been like screw it- I’m going to just put this stuff out there. I just draw what amuses me. Little bites of life as I see it. I don’t worry about making it pretty, sexy or porportiately correct. I don’t worry about getting a likeness. I don’t worry about nothing. I just see, react and draw. What comes out, comes out. I’m not trying to please a client or a teacher or even myself. It just happens. Like farts.
